PAOV – There's a new petition taking off on Change.org, and we think you might be interested in signing it.
Cette pétition prend de l'ampleur sur Change.org, souhaitez-vous la signer? Elle demande au ministre du Commerce international du Canada d'adopter des mesures pour rendre plus difficile la sous-traitance dans le domaine du vêtement et de promouvoir l'emploi équitable dans le monde, car le travail dans des ateliers de misère (sweatshops) est une source grandissante de misère et de travail forcé dans le monde.
Ed Fast: Implement stricter transparency and outsourcing regulations to promote the use of ethical labour

Many of the world's 23.6 million garment workers in 160 countries are denied their basic human rights. They suffer inhumane working conditions and arbitrary discipline, earn sub-standard wages, and exploitation producing cheap fashion for our shops.
This can't go on. We demand a fashion industry that respects workers' rights. Our government must act now to protect the people who make our clothes. We can use the government's, in particular the Ministry of International Trade's, regulatory power to implement stricter transparency and outsourcing regulations to promote the use of ethical labour by companies. We want to put pressure on businesses that use sweatshops and we want to bring sweatshop awareness to the everyday consumer so they can make more informed decisions. With this in mind, we are asking Minister of International Trade, Ed Fast, to make these necessary changes.
The change won't come overnight. But it's also a necessary one. Together we can end the injustice of sweatshops, and ensure the dignity of workers everywhere.
